“This evening I spied her in the back orchard. I decided to sacrifice one of my better old shirts and carried it out to her. The weather’s been warm of late. Buds on the apple trees are ready to burst. Usually by this time of the year, at that time of day, the back orchard is full of screaming children. Damut’s boys were the only two. They were on the terrace below her, running through the slanted sunlight, chasing each other around tree trunks. She stood above them, like a merlin watching rabbits play.”

eyes landed on the TV screen. The headline looming at the bottom of
the screen said it all—
“Planet Killer Aimed at Earth”

returning his attention to the screen. The narrator continued on about
the details of the new discovery until he got to the scientific name for
the asteroid and the new media moniker; Rabbit’s Revenge. Something
clicked in the back of his mind. Some little sensation of recognition
sparked at the name, but for the life of him Jeremy couldn’t place why.”
